Title: Respiratory full face mask
Inventor: MAXWELL IAN VICTOR
IPC: A62B18/08
Filed: 1985-09-13
Abstract: The flexible outer face mask 2 of a respiratory full face mask 1 has an outer portion 4 which contains a visor 5 received and held in an aperture in the outer portion 4. An inner portion 3 of the flexible outer face mask 2 engages the head of the wearer in sealing engagement. A pair of flexible lugs 11, 12, each having a substantially vertical hole therein, are formed integrally with the outer portion 4 of the outer face mask 2 on a portion of the outer face mask 2 which holds the visor 5, so that the lugs 11, 12 are firmly positioned, at a position just above the visor 5. A spectacle frame 15 having upwardly extending arms 13, 14 may be located in the full face mask 1 by inserting each upwardly extending arm 13, 14 in one lug 11 or 12. The spectacle frame is then held in a position in which it does not distort the seal of the face piece on the inner portion 3, it is not moved when the mask 1 is put on, and the frame 15 is angled correctly for presentation to the eyes of the wearer of the mask 1. <IMAGE>

Title: Non-refillable pourer fitment
Inventor: HOPLEY ERIC TREVOR
IPC: B65D49/02
Filed: 1986-06-10
Abstract: A non-refillable pourer fitment for the neck of a container, eg a whisky or gin bottle, comprises axially inner (not shown) and axially outer (10) parts captively attached to each other, a valve member eg a ball valve located and movable in a longitudinal bore in the inner part and the outer part being formed with a longitudinal bore at its axially inner end and a dispensing aperture (16) at its outer end, the longitudinal bore in the outer part varying in radius along its length from a portion (12) of relatively large radius to a portion (14) of relatively small radius, and an obturator disc (17) intermediate the portion (14) and aperture (16) having a radius greater than the radius of portion (14). The obturator disc (17) is attached through frangible bridges (20) to a series of pillars (19) spaced circumferentially around the outer part, the bridges (20) being sufficiently flexible as to allow the undersides (25) of the disc (17) to contact the tops (26) of the pillars (19) when pressure is applied to the fitment at its outer end during insertion of the fitment into a container neck. The obturator disc (17) is attached to the cylindrical wall, surrounding the aperture (16) by circumferentially spaced, integrally moulded stays (18). The outer and inner parts snap fit together and peg (21) limits the movement of the valve member. Breakage of frangible bridges (20) provides evidence of an attempt to remove the fitment. <IMAGE>

Title: Assembling head arm stack subassemblies
Inventor: QUINTON BRIAN PHILIP
IPC: G11B5/48
Filed: 1986-10-30
Abstract: An assembly station for assembling head arm stack subassemblies in a a disk file comprises an assembly table (45) for supporting a stack (35) of head arms and other components of the subassembly. The table has an initial position in which it is adapted to receive the components in inverted order for bolting together and is pivotable about a horizontal axis from the initial position to a final position at which the subassembly is delivered to a rotary actuator platform (31). The assembly table is provided with gripping means e.g. (60, 61) for gripping the subassembly initially and during travel of the table and for subsequently releasing it to the actuator from the final position. The preferred gripping means is spring biassed towards a retracted position from which it is initially displaced by a stop (101). A sensor (102) senses disengagement from the stop to confirm correct operations of the gripping means and that the subassembly is securely held on the table. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2193182-A (GB)
Title: Continuous chain conveyor
Inventor: SNELLING KEITH
IPC: B65G19/24
Filed: 1987-06-18
Abstract: Plate-like flight bars 3 extend between a pair of endless chains 1. The connection between each flight bar 3 and a chain 1 is effected by a connector 4, that is formed in two similar, reversed parts 4a and 4b. One part 4a extends through a vertical link so that a semi-circular recess 10 in the bottom of the part receives the lower part 2b of the link. This prevents movement of the part 2b away from the flight bar. The upper part 2a rests against a quadrant-shaped surface 12 and this prevents movement of the part 2b towards the flight bar 3. The other part 4b acts in the opposite sense on the parts 2a and 2b and the connector occupies the space between the parts 2a and 2b. The two connector parts together define a recess 7 in which the end of the flight bar 3 is received and a bolt 5 passing through the three components holds them in the position in which the engagement with the chain is positively maintained. <IMAGE>

Title: Non-intrusive optical tap
Inventor: RAMSAY MELVIN MURRAY
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 1987-07-10
Abstract: A non-intrusive optical tap comprises a mating pair of transparent plastics members (11a, 11b) of substantially wedge- shaped cross-section and together defining a cylindrical cavity in which the fibre (13) is located. The tap applies pressure to the fibre 13 to induce microbending whereby coupling between bound and radiating modes is effected. This causes leakage of light from the fibre into the tap. The tap is inserted through a split in the sheath of a cable carrying the fibre and is self aligned to the fibre. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2207313-A (GB)
Title: Signal controlled by noise signal compensator
Inventor: BUICK JAMES MELVILLE
IPC: H03G3/32
Filed: 1987-07-18
Abstract: A noise compensation circuit which dynamically responds to the measured or estimated noise detected at 1 which is received with a signal by altering the transmitted signal's dynamic range at 9 and/or level 11 in such a manner as to continuously stabilise the signal to noise ratio at a receiver. The signal compression at 9 and gain at 11 are both proportional to noise. Although of application in communications systems the main applications of this circuit are expected to be in motor car and domestic audio equipment where the signal channel is that between the loud-speaker(s) and the listeners ears. Here it can provide a great improvement in listening comfort in an environment subject to varying noise. <IMAGE>

The block 10 fits in the rear compartment 22 of a tray 20, the front compartment 21 serving to catch sawdust. The block may be sized to fit snugly in compartment 21 for carriage. Alternatively, the block may have a groove (36, Fig. 2) to fit the divider (35) between the two compartments, or have grooves (Fig. 3) to provide sliding engagement with the tray; in the latter case, the tray may be arranged to receive the block on either side, giving either a tray or a raised platform adjacent to the block. The block 10 may be provided with slots such as 40 extending from the bottom of the cutouts or 41 adjacent to the cutouts, so that the block may also be used as a mitre block (with the workpiece being held lengthwise against the block). The block 10 may be of wood or a pressed steel or cast iron frame, or wood reinforced with steel. <IMAGE>
